Be it-known that we, GaonoiijE. LARSEN and ALrnen K.JonNsoN, a citizenof the United St'at'esfand a subject of the King of Norway,respectively, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented a. certain new and useful ImL rovement inRadiator-Covers, of which the ollowing is a full, clear, concise, andexact descripi n, reference being companyihg drawings, forming a partofthis specification. y i

Our invention relates to devices to be` u s d in connection with steamor other radiators, and its object is to provide a simple, pracl! ticaland inexpensive device'which will serve not only as a cover or fenderfor the radi-1 ator, but will also serve to diffuse vmoisture inatheroomwhere thev radiator is .located and tliereb'yV make the vrooin moresanitary.

In the accompanying drawin s :Figure 1 isa view in vertical 'section o aradiator' ycover embodying our invention and a part of a radiator suportin thesanie. Fig. 2 is a front view o wradiator'withthe coverdesirably'made out` of sheet metal and 'havin a front 1 substantiallyvert-icalfin its middle' portion and havingvits u per portion 2 bentbackwardly so as toexten to, the back the' front ,.1 are two sides 3-'3,which are also 'desirablfy' dat sheet metal pieces widest at their upperends and tapering substantially'to a point at their lower ends, wherethey are` connected with the bottom offthe front 4 A reservoir4'conveniently i the shape of a trough is arranged withinffthe chamberformed by the frontl -and the sides 3-3,

portion 2 of the front 1. This reservoir desirably extends frgnside tolside of the device, and is substantially closed, except that it has alongitudinal slot G ,at its rear upper edge, through which vapors fromthe .reservolr can-pass. Itis conveniently provided with an upward]extending tongue 7, by which it can be led. The device .is alsoprovidedwitlrsupport f orm 'of wire rods,"seenred 'to the back 1 andbent upwardly and'liackwardly so' that the;7 can"V engagealugs n theradiaftpr when the vice` had to the `ac y tions of the seen that lthedevicecan be placed upon`-`a f radiator and when so placed- 1t willserve as. a cover or shield for the same, and at the Sametime it will beheated by the radiato and when s o heated the water will slowl'evaporate, so that it will pass out into the,
